Workers who were part of an overnight crew working at the Agnew Mine in Australia were fired after they made a “Harlem Shake” video in the underground mine and posted it online.

The mining services company that employed the workers, Barminco, hasn’t made a statement but a spokesman for the company that owns the mine said, “Underground mining has strict safety standards as there are accidents and fatalities. The Barminco management saw this as a breach of standards.” Up to 15 workers may have been fired in the incident.
